FOLDING BABY-CARRIAGE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application fi led April 9, 190a Patented April 27, 1909. Serial No. 426,071.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ADoLF KAUFMANN, corn merchant, and ADOLF GOLDENBERG, dentist, both residing at Strada Sf. Selari 2, jects of the King of Roumania, have invented new and useful Folding Baby-Carriages, of which the following is a full and clear specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.

he invention relates to baby-carriages which are adapted to be folded together and the object of the invention is to provide a folding baby-carriage with a carriage-body the front walls as well as the lateral walls of which may be turned down upon the bottom of the wagon-body, whereas they are kept in their upright position by means of suitable a further'object ofthe invention is to provide the baby-carriage with wheels which are independent from each other and carried by pivotally arranged springs, in order topermit of turning each wheel upon thedownward surface fo the bottom part of the carriage-body. 5

n the accompanying draw-in the *invention 1s shown by way of examp e, Figure 1 being a side elevation of a baby-carriage as ready for use the dotted lines show the carriage folded together. Fig. 2 is a front elevation with one wheel shown by dotted lines in collapsed osition. Fig. 3, is a detail view looking in t e direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 2.

The body of the carriage consists of a framing which is divided into several parts and provided with. suitable panels of leather or the like. The front are hinged at 5 and 6 to the parts 9and 10 and the lateral wagon-body parts3 and 4 are hinged respectively to the S-shaped frame rods 9 and 10. Thereby the walls of the wagon-body may be turned upon the bottom art 11 of the wagon-body, whereas they are focked in their upright position by any suitable means, for instance by catches 12. The wheels have no commonxaxle. The spring 13 arranged between each axle-bean. ing 14 and the bottom part 11 of the Wagon body is connected with the framing by means of a horizontal hinge .15 in such away that it may be turned with its respective wheel upon the downward face of the bottom part 11 only, while the hinge 15 permits of no outwardly directed movement of the wheel.

Niculae A Bucarest, Roumania, both sub' Improvements in with their frame parts 1 and2 The bottom frame rods 9, 10 are also pivotally connected with each other at 16 Fig. 1 and therefore may be brought into the position shown in Fig. 1 by dotted lines, where the wheels occupy the empty space left be tween the S-shaped rods 9 and 10.

The bottom part of the carriage-body carries two springs 17, pivoted at 17 so as to be swung at right angles when the carriage is folde e springs 17 are provided with vertical slotsshown in the drawing in their ends, in each of which an axle of one wheel enters, whereby the wheels are kept in their running position and their lateral movement permit the carriage-body of freely moving Having now perfectly described our invention, what we claim as new and ask to said springs carrying a wheel, and the axles of sa1d wheels arranged each one in a vertical one pair of wheels and secured to the carriage bottom, substantially as described.

2. A folding perambulator comprising in combination, a two part frame, said parts being hinged directly to each other to fold bottom portions facing inwardly and their upper portions facing outwardly, wheels hinged to said frame arts to fold inwardly and lie between said ottom portions and in alined relation with respect to each other when folded, side members hinged to frame part and foldable downwardly upon the upper portions thereof, and an end member hinged to each frame part to fold downwardly on said side members.

3. A folding perambulator comprising in combination, a two part frame, said parts being hinged directly to each other to folded position and with their upper portions facing outwardly, wheels hinged to said frame parts to fold inwardly and lie between said bottom portions, two side members for combination, a folding body portion, Wheels In testimony whereof we have subsvribed hinged to said body portion and provided this in the presence of two witnesses.

With projectin axles, and springs connected I Y with said body portion and provided with slotted terminals engaging said axles to retain said Wheels 1n a running position and permit VV1tnesses: yielding movement of said body With respect JAMES BERNSTEIN,

to said Wheels. OTTO TEBER.
